With this season\u2019s TNM Super League champions and relegated teams known, this weekend\u2019s battle for points is more about bragging rights.<\/p>\n
Topping the fixtures is a Lilongwe derby between Silver Strikers and Civil Sporting Club at Silver Stadium this afternoon.<\/p>\n
Civil Coach, Franco Ndawa, said they take pride in defeating Silver.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur start in the league this season was not good. When we picked up form, we had lost valuable points. We want to give our fans something to cheer about at the end of the season, more especially during this period,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Silver Team Manager, Francis Songo, said the two teams were classes apart, and it was important to prove it in the derby.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving failed to reach our target of winning the league [championship], we can only give our fans a [consolation] of a win over our rivals,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Civil have star players such as Innocent Tanganyika, Righteous Banda and Fletcher Bandawe whereas the Bankers will rely on Mathews Sibale, Levisio Maganizo and Thuso Paipi.<\/p>\n
In another potentially exciting match, Nyasa Big Bullets host Masters Security FC at Chilomoni Stadium in Blantyre this afternoon.<\/p>\n
Bullets assistant Coach, Elia Kananji, hinted that they would change the playing squad.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe never doubt our players and the ones that we will feature know that we have to win. We don\u2019t want to spoil our supporters\u2019 mood during this festive period,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Kananji has a pool of players. However, Fischer Kondowe, Nelson Kangunje, Emmanuel Zoya and Mike Mkwate have been the most outstanding this season.<\/p>\n
Masters Coach, Abbas Makawa, said they were determined to shock Bullets, and prove wrong those who doubt the team\u2019s survival in the Caf Confederations Cup.<\/p>\n
\u201cBullets are a good side and if we beat them, then all those that doubt us will start believing in what we are doing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
